\t\t\"Battle<\/a>

It’s not every day you get to see three great East Coast rock bands on the same stage with two amazing West Coast bands—so we made a point of documenting our big fundraiser last Thursday, the Battle of the Tech Bands 3: Seattle vs. Boston<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Today we want to share the amazing footage and images captured at the event by our volunteer videographer, Mark Woit, and our photographer Kevin Vogelsang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our video is below. And for even more great photos, you can check out Boston24.com’s awesome coverage of the band battle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We want to thank all our bands for coming out for the event, including Audience Favorite winner The Dirty Truckers<\/a> (from Jamaica Plain, MA, representing American Well), Most Innovative Band winner Lions Ambition<\/a> (from Seattle, representing Boeing), and worthy competitors Deadbeat Darling<\/a> (from Brooklyn, NY, representing Pictela), Juda’s Wake<\/a> (from Seattle, representing Microsoft) and McAlister Drive<\/a> (from Boston, formerly representing Linedata Services). For winning the Audience Favorite prize, The Dirty Truckers took home a seven-hour package of studio recording and engineering time donated by Bristol Studios<\/a> of Boston. And for winning the Most Innovative Band prize, Lions Ambition was awarded a year of online merchandising services donated by Nimbit<\/a>, also of Boston, as well as three hours of digital media\/strategy consulting from Ten Minute Media<\/a>, of Holyoke, MA.<\/p>\n

We’re donating net ticket proceeds from the event to two great local non-profit groups, Science Club for Girls<\/a> and Year Up Boston<\/a>. Once all the beans are counted, it looks like we’ll be contributing about $1,100 to each organization.<\/p>\n

For helping us to make the Battle of the Tech Bands 3 a big success, we want to thank our event sponsors, Microsoft New England Research & Development Center, McNamee Lawrence & Co., Aerva (which flawlessly handled the audience text message voting for the third year in a row—and this year added interactive photos as well), Bristol Studios, and Nimbit; our band sponsor, Brad Feld; our event partners, the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce, MITX, and the Mass Technology Leadership Council; and our event supporters, Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, American Well, Avalon Ventures, Chen PR, The Computer Cafe, General Catalyst Partners, Google, Google Ventures, Harmonix, H&R Block, Heartland Robotics, IDEO, iRobot, Ten Minute Media, and Vertex Pharmaceuticals.<\/p>\n
